Day:188, Words:188, Øksfjordians on holiday!

The walk to the old town of Side is spectacular, suprising and at times extremely annoying. The tourist market is centred around the anciet roman ruins that include a magnificent theatre, ancient baths and temples.

Today thousands of tourists step over these centuries old remants daily as if they were inconvenient road works blocking the path.

There must be about 35,000 bars and restaurants lining the old streets and each of them employs a sales ninja, who is highly trained in the arts of closing the deal.

The well dressed employee will run through the advantages recieved by dining at this particular restaurant. A cheap kids menu, only 7 Turkish lira, a kids playground in the middle of the fine dining area, the best food in the entire universe, no service charge like all the other restaurants have ( they all say this) and the best seat in the restaurant ( mostly due to the lack of customers).

This procedure is repeated every 10 metres until you find yourself staring at awe at the remains of the Apollo temple, bathed in sun setting rays, leaning up against the tranquill Mediterranean.
